Back for February! After the success of our taster sessions at Bowling and Peel Park, we are delighted to be running Holiday Forest School at Peel Park. Places are limited, so must be booked in advance to attend. These are sessions for children only, so children are dropped off at Peel at 10:00AM then picked up at Peel Park at 2:00PM.
Forest school gives children aged between 5 and 11+ years the opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy nature with friends whilst building resilience, learning new skills and exploring on their own terms. There are so many activities to choose from including whittling, games, den building, tree climbing and crafts, to name just a few.
The programme will be led by experienced and qualified practitioners who will bring lots of ideas to go with the children’s own for playing, building and creating with natural resources in the woods.
Key booking information:
- If your child needs additional support please book on, then we will be in touch. We aim to be inclusive and will endeavour to get additional staff or volunteers to support, so we have appropriate ratios. However we need to know in advance, so please book on, and we will be in touch to discuss how we can support your child
- If places have sold out, please join the waitlist and we will contact you if places become available.
